THE LYRICS TO THIS SONG ARE AS FOLLOWS:

“Baby don't go, baby don't go, baby don't go. Talk to me, tell me, where you were (late last night), You told me, with yer friends, hanging out (late last night), You lying, cuz you stuttering, now where were you (late last night), Stop lying to me, cuz you're ticking me off, see you're ticking me off, oh girl. I can tell you're lying, because when you're replying, Stutter, stutters, stutter, stutters. I can tell you're lying, because when you're replying, Stutter, stutters, stutter, stutters. I can tell you're lying, because when you're replying, Stutter, stutters, stutter, stutters. I can tell you're lying, because when you're replying, Stutter, stutters, stutter, stutters. I called you, on your cell phone, no answer (tell me why). So I paged you, on your two-way, still no response (tell me why). I took care of you, I loved you, and you played me (tell me why). Stop lying to me about where you been, Cuz you're ticking me off, ticking me off. I can tell you're lying, because when you're replying, Stutter, stutters, stutter, stutters. I can tell you're lying, because when you're replying, Stutter, stutters, stutter, stutters. I can tell you're lying, because when you're replying, Stutter, stutters, stutter, stutters. I can tell you're lying, because when you're replying, Stutter, stutters, stutter, stutters. It's funny to me, when you lie to me, You start stuttering, tripping, I caught you, baby. It's funny to me, when you lie to me, You start stuttering, tripping, I caught you, baby. I smell cologne, damn it's strong, How'd you get it on (I'm not done). He messed up your hair, makeup's everywhere. Oh yeah, (I'm not done). Girl you're crying cuz you're lying to my face (I'm not done). Stop lying, about sentiment, Cuz you're ticking me off. I can tell you're lying, because when you're replying, Stutter, stutters, stutter, stutters. I can tell you're lying, because when you're replying, Stutter, stutters, stutter, stutters. I can tell you're lying, because when you're replying, Stutter, stutters, stutter, stutters. I can tell you're lying, because when you're replying, Stutter, stutters, stutter, stutters. Why did I? You should know by now. I gotta know baby, I just can't keep going on girl. Oh, get on baby, no love from you. I hear you lying, I hear you, Stuttering, stuttering, stuttering, stuttering, stutter, stuttering. Oh girl, you should leave me alone, Get the hell on.”

Granted, this video may depict actual infidelity but the writers of this song thought that the best way to portray the message of infidelity was thorough a chorus regarding stuttered speech. When this song came out, I was in 8th grade.  Imagine how disturbed I was when this song hit top 20 and my speech was not anywhere near what it is today.  As I struggled to make friends, I stuttered and I couldn’t hide it.  Meanwhile, this song played on every station.  “I can tell you’re lying, because when you’re replying. Stutter, stutters, stutter, stutters”.... Gee, thanks Joe.  I still love you though :) <3  

Yes, I listen to all kinds of music, including R&B
